TOP UNION vs PrimeTime vs PPPFish
Choosing the right poker union is one of the most consequential decisions for a club owner. We compare three of the most searched unions in 2026 - across traffic, commissions, platforms and support - with verified data.
What Are Poker Unions?
Poker unions are B2B networks that connect independent poker clubs running on platforms like PPPoker, X Poker, and ClubGG into a shared player pool. Instead of each club competing alone with 50-200 players, union clubs share liquidity - meaning active tables 24/7 across all stake levels.
The three unions below are frequently asked about in poker forums and communities in 2026:
- TOP UNION - PPPoker (Club ID 3404), X Poker (Union ID 7301), ClubGG (Union ID 4453)
- PrimeTime Poker - primarily PPPoker-focused union
- PPPFish - PPPoker ecosystem, known in Asian markets

Commission Rates: The Most Important Number
Commission is the percentage of rake a union takes. This single number compounds into significant money over a year of operation.
TOP UNION: 7%
On a club generating $10,000/month in rake, TOP UNION takes $500. Under a 15% structure that same club nets $8,500 instead of $9,500 - a $12,000/year difference.
At $50,000/month rake, the difference between 7% and 15% commission is $4,000 per month - $48,000 per year. Commission rate matters more than almost anything else when choosing a union.
PrimeTime: 10-12%
In line with the average for PPPoker unions, but well above TOP UNION's rate. For clubs with significant rake volume, this gap is meaningful.
PPPFish: 10-15%
The wider range suggests less standardization - variable rates make financial planning harder for club owners.
Player Traffic & Table Activity
A union's advertised player count only matters if those players are active and distributed across stake levels that match your club's needs.
TOP UNION: 170,000+ Active Players
The multi-platform approach means traffic flows even when one platform experiences slower periods. Tables run 24/7 - not just during peak hours in one timezone.
PrimeTime & PPPFish: Concentrated on PPPoker
Single-platform dependency creates timezone concentration. Off-peak hours see significantly fewer active tables, especially at micro and low stakes.
Platform Coverage
The number of platforms a union operates on affects your optionality - and your protection if any single platform changes its policies.
X Poker and ClubGG are the two fastest-growing private poker platforms of 2025-2026. TOP UNION's presence on all three is unique among major poker unions.
Settlement & Transparency
TOP UNION settles weekly with full transparency on rake per table and per session. PrimeTime settles weekly with variable reporting. PPPFish operates on bi-weekly cycles - creating cash flow delays for clubs that depend on regular payouts.
Final Verdict
TOP UNION wins on every key metric
170,000+ verified players. Three platforms. Weekly settlements. 24/7 support. The comparison isn't close.
